[Intro]
(Oh yeah)
Mmm
Hey
Trouble don’t last always
C’mon
Sing it
[Verse 1]
Woke up with that weight on me
Mail full of bills and bad news
Phone full of folks that need me
Heart feelin’ battered and bruised
But my grandma said
“Boy
Keep walking
Storms run out of rain someday”
So I’m standin’ in this hallway
Till I see that better day (hey!)
[Chorus]
Trouble don’t last always
It’s just a midnight trying to block my praise
Joy’s gonna find my face
Sun’s coming up gonna light this place
I’ve been down
But I won’t stay
Tears on my shirt but they gon’ wipe away
Trouble don’t last always
I know my God made a way
Made a way (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Doctor said
“We ain’t sure yet”
Boss said
“Son
We gotta let you go”
Friends turned ghost when I needed ’em most
But there’s a fire still burnin’ in my soul
’Cause I’ve seen doors swing wide on me
Right when I thought it was the end
So I’m dancin’ in the hallway
Praising like it’s ’round the bend (hey, hey!)
[Chorus]
Trouble don’t last always
It’s just a midnight trying to block my praise
Joy’s gonna find my face
Sun’s coming up gonna light this place
I’ve been down
But I won’t stay
Tears on my shirt but they gon’ wipe away
Trouble don’t last always
I know my God made a way
Made a way
[Bridge]
I’ve been pressed
I’ve been crushed
But I’m not broken (not broken)
Every “no” that I heard
Turned to doors swingin’ open (swing it open)
Every valley that I walked
Made my shout get stronger
If the night feels long
Hold on just a little bit longer
[Chorus]
Trouble don’t last always
It’s just a midnight trying to block my praise
Joy’s gonna find my face
Sun’s coming up gonna light this place
I’ve been down
But I won’t stay
Tears on my shirt but they gon’ wipe away
Trouble don’t last always
I know my God made a way
Made a way
[Outro]
(Oh-oh) Trouble don’t last
(Oh-oh) This too shall pass
Hands up high when it feels too heavy
’Cause trouble don’t last always (yeah)
